News: Pre-SIHH 2016 Presenting the Panerai Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic PAM 655. First Radiomir Ever with a White Dial.

A little bit over a month before the SIHH 2016 kicks off, Panerai presents the first Radiomir to have a white dial. The new Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic PAM 655 takes its inspiration directly from the 1940s model but in an absolutely contemporary style. Subtle, light, distinguished by its essential lines and maximum clarity of reading and setting, it is a sports replica watch adapted to every situation. For the first time in a replica watch in the Radiomir 1940 collection, the dial of the new Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic is offered in white. Its graphic design maximizes the dial’s clarity and legibility, with the large black figures corresponding to the hour markers and the small seconds dial at nine o’clock, a characteristic of Panerai replica watches of the 1940s. The cushion case, in AISI 316L stainless steel with polished finish, measures 42 mm in diameter and only 10.93 mm in thickness.

Its shape and proportions are those of vintage Panerai examples but the standard of its materials, finish and ergonomics have been updated and perfected to meet the highest standards of contemporary high quality sports replica watchmaking. The crown too is of steel with a polished finish and the OP logo in relief, and it is connected to the mechanism which stops the balance as the time is adjusted, for perfect synchronization of the replica watch.

On the back of the Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic is a round window with a sapphire crystal through which the automatic P.4000 movement, entirely made in the Officine Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel, can be admired. The structure of the calibre is particularly rugged and reliable, with a wide brushed-finish plate covering the greater part of the mechanism, and the full balance bridge with twin supports which carries the balance, oscillating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The most fascinating element for the enthusiasts of high quality replica watchmaking is certainly the off-centered oscillating weight, set within the movement and thus making it possible for the calibre to be only 3.95 mm thick. Made of tungsten, the rotor oscillates in both directions and it is connected to the two spring barrels in series which store a power reserve of up to three days, the new minimum standard for the power reserve of Panerai replica watches fitted with Manufacture movements.

The new Panerai Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic PAM 655 is water-resistant to a 100 meters and it is supplied with a natural, untreated leather strap, with beige contrasting stitching.
